Looks even worse, doesn't it ? Since 1996 it has *only* been Shredder and
Junior. And yes, a random list should look different - they just rock.

Some of these were WMCCCs of course. WCCCs should be

1995 Fritz
1999 Shredder
2002 Junior
2003 Shredder
2004 Junior

Ehm - well, this opens a completely different topic ..

So far:
Junior
Crafty
Shredder
Diep
Deep Sjeng
Jonny
Isichess
My_fute
Zappa

Maybe: Fruit and Chess Tiger

Junior and Shredder again look like fine bets of course, every year less dare to
even challenge them ,and Hydra chickened out , same as Fritz for the first time
- I just hope that the maybes take part to improve competition.
